Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather Chapter 1516 - 945: Forget River Dew, Late-stage Foundation Establishment (Part 2)

"If Elder Yang can obtain Forget River Dew, the Mountain Master promises to give Elder Yang two Three-tier Monster Cores!" said Jian Qingxiao.

Yang Zhenshan paused once more.

Three-tier Monster Cores!

Those are the monster cores of a Demon Venerable!

Each monster core represents a Demon Venerable.

For Hidden Sword Mountain to produce Three-tier Monster Cores, that’s truly a terrifying foundation.

As for where these Three-tier Monster Cores came from, it’s obvious that they were left behind by Heavenly Sword True Monarch.

If he truly gets two Three-tier Monster Cores, perhaps he could refine a top-grade Demon Yuan Pill.

Hmm!

Even without the Three-tier Monster Cores, he still has a chance to refine a top-grade Demon Yuan Pill.

These Three-tier Monster Cores are not as useful to him as Forget River Dew.

But Jian Changhe’s willingness to exchange them for Three-tier Monster Cores is enough to show his sincerity.

"I’ll give it a try!"

Yang Zhenshan said.

After seeing off Jian Qingxiao, a thought crossed Yang Zhenshan’s mind, and he returned to the Spirit Source Land.

Although he had agreed to give it a try for Jian Qingxiao, this matter was not urgent, as it involved Jie Dan Spirit Objects, which could not be resolved in a short time.

After chatting with Yu Qingyi for a bit, Yang Zhenshan then went to the Quiet Chamber to begin his seclusion.

Time passed unknowingly; within the Quiet Chamber, the dazzling blue-yellow radiance around Yang Zhenshan continuously flickered alternately, and then suddenly all retracted into his body, revealing a brand new mana wave.

Feeling the surging mana within, and the Dao Rhyme embedded in the mana, Yang Zhenshan slowly opened his eyes.

Late-stage Foundation Establishment!

Nineteen years’ time, from mid-stage Foundation Establishment to late-stage Foundation Establishment, this speed can already be considered very fast.

Compared to others, his cultivation can indeed be called rapid progress.

"Yun Xiao took eighty years to go from mid-stage to late-stage Foundation Establishment!"

"Master Jing Shui cultivated painstakingly for over a hundred years, but to this day can only barely hold on!"

"And I’ve only cultivated for forty years at Foundation Establishment, and have already reached late-stage Foundation Establishment!"

"Hahaha~~ The Golden Core is within reach!"

Yang Zhenshan joyfully laughed.

Calculating his age, he’s now just over one hundred and thirty, which is definitely considered young among Foundation Establishment cultivators.

After laughing, Yang Zhenshan extended his hand, and the Divine Wood Treasure Cauldron appeared spinning before him.

Looking at the verdant cauldron, his face was full of delight.

His rapid breakthrough was precisely because of the Divine Wood Treasure Cauldron, or more accurately, the Resurrection Water within the Divine Wood Treasure Cauldron.

The Resurrection Water integrates Yin and Yang energies, containing the Path of the Five Elements Fusion. Additionally, Resurrection Water has the essence of life and the spiritual mechanism of transformation, where the essence of life refers to the nurturing power of heaven and earth, allowing all things to sprout.

Therefore, Resurrection Water has an extraordinarily strong enhancing effect on the Qingmu Longevity Scripture, allowing Yang Zhenshan to cultivate with half the effort but twice the result.

"All things sprouting! Life and Death Withering and Flourishing!"

"Who would have thought that Jizhen’s mistake would bring me a considerable stroke of fortune!"

"Nowadays, the Divine Wood Treasure Cauldron is quite compatible with the Path of Life and Death, but comprehending this Path of Life and Death is too difficult!"

Yang Zhenshan felt some frustration when thinking about the Path of Life and Death.

Undoubtedly, the Path of Life and Death was the most profound and potentially powerful Taoist Skill he had mastered, but he had only barely grasped the basics, making such a grand path seem rather useless in his hands.

Fortunately, the Divine Wood Treasure Cauldron was quite helpful in understanding the Path of Life and Death, which lifted his spirits considerably.

Calming his cluttered mind, Yang Zhenshan walked slowly out of the Quiet Chamber and entered the main hall.

In the hall, Qingxia and Red Cloud were embroidering a vestment robe.

"Who are you embroidering this for this time?" Yang Zhenshan asked casually.

"Master, this is for Ning’er and An’er!" Qingxia replied with a smile.

Yang Zhenshan raised an eyebrow, "Let them embroider it themselves."

The Ning’er and An’er she’s referring to are none other than the sisters Li Janning and Li Jian’an, who have returned after cultivating with Yun Xiao for several years.

The two little girls from back then are now nearing forty and have reached the Qi Refining Ninth Layer in cultivation.

It won’t be long before they should enter Foundation Establishment.

As for Qingxia and Red Cloud, they had a habit of doing needlework when idle, and ever since learning to make vestment robes, they spend their free time helping others make them.

Yu Qingyi was the same way, as all of Yang Zhenshan’s vestment robes were made by their hands.

The process of making a vestment robe is divided into three parts. The first part is similar to ordinary needlework, using special threads and fabric to sew the robe’s shape, strictly following a pre-designed array; no errors are allowed, which Red Cloud and Qingxia handle.

The second part involves drawing talismanic restrictions in the form of an array on the robe, turning the embroidered patterns into part of the array.

The third part is activating the array, imbuing the vestment robe with functions beyond ordinary clothing.

Ma Qiuyan and Ning Yun handle both the second and third parts, as Red Cloud and Qingxia are neither Immortal Cultivators nor Array Masters and cannot complete these parts.

But the first part is the most time-consuming and requires the most attention.

"They still need to cultivate, and we use it to pass the time!" Red Cloud said with a smile.

Yang Zhenshan was too lazy to argue with them, so he asked, "Where is the lady?"

"The lady is still in seclusion!" Red Cloud replied.

Yang Zhenshan glanced at the adjacent Quiet Chamber, intending to share his breakthrough joy with Yu Qingyi, but seeing her fully immersed in cultivation, he refrained from disturbing her.

"Anything new as of late?"

"Nothing much, except Jizhen has come looking for you a few times! He didn’t specify what for, just said to let him know when you come out of seclusion!" Red Cloud replied.

Yang Zhenshan nodded, "I’ll go see what he wants!"

After speaking, his figure flashed and disappeared, appearing the next moment in the Immortal Artifact Pavilion on Flame Mountain.

These days, Flame Mountain isn’t just the peak housing the Pill Hall but comprises over a dozen peaks above the Fire Vein.

Due to ground fire, many Artifact Refining Workshops and Alchemy Workshops have been newly established here, along with several peaks allocated specifically for the Golden Feathered Fire Crow as their habitat.

The Immortal Artifact Pavilion is Yang Jizhen’s artifact refining place, located next to the Pill Hall.

Upon arrival at the Immortal Artifact Pavilion, Yang Jizhen was busy organizing his Spiritual Material.

Yang Zhenshan scanned it with his Spiritual Sense, unable to help but marvel inwardly.

He didn’t expect Yang Jizhen to have amassed so much Spiritual Material over the years, with more than a hundred kinds of various ores, including some rare Second-Order ores.

This is the foundation.

Not only Yang Jizhen’s foundation but also the Spirit Source Land’s foundation.

For an Artifact Refiner, the most critical thing is accumulating various ores, as one can’t just search for them when needed.

"Ancestor, you’ve finished your seclusion!"

Seeing Yang Zhenshan arrive, Yang Jizhen greeted happily.

"Yes," Yang Zhenshan said, looking at his storage, waving his hand to bring forth a large pile of ores, "These are all yours; they serve no purpose with me!"

He had a lot of ores in his storage, all acquired in the past by chance.

While not many in type or quantity, they were relatively rare ores.

Anything placed in his storage must be good stuff.

Ordinary items were tossed into Ziwei Tower’s internal treasury.

Yang Jizhen was even more pleasantly surprised by the sudden appearance of a large pile of ores.

"All for me!"

"Who else would they be for if not you!" Yang Zhenshan replied, "Put them away; you had something you wanted to discuss?"

"Ah, yes!" Yang Jizhen suddenly remembered, "The Pocket World Gate has been refined, Ancestor, you should test it to see if you can use it!"

As he spoke, he took out a round Array Plate.

Yang Zhenshan looked at the Array Plate in puzzlement, examining it carefully, "This is the Pocket World Gate?"

His idea of a Pocket World Gate didn’t resemble this!

Enlarged, the Pocket World Gate transformed into a massive portal of light, while when minimized, it became a crystal-clear jade tablet, surrounded by ethereal spiritual light.

Entirely different from the Array Plate before him.

"Yes, it’s this thing," Yang Jizhen confirmed.
